Overview
LTC1735CS-1 from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous step-down switching regulator controller optimized for CPU core power delivery in mobile computing systems. It delivers 0.8V to 7V output with ±1% accuracy, supports 3.5V–30V input, operates up to 500kHz, and features OPTI-LOOP™ compensation and programmable current sensing for Intel Mobile CPU-compliant power-good signaling.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1735CS-1 datasheet, LTC1735CS-1 pinout, LTC1735CS-1 application, or LTC1735CS-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual N-channel MOSFET synchronous drive capability, 99% duty cycle dropout operation, Burst Mode™ efficiency at light load, remote voltage sense, and Intel SpeedStep™-compatible dynamic voltage scaling support.
Technical Context
The LTC1735CS-1 implements a constant-frequency, current-mode control architecture with an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 1.3 mmho) and dual current comparators for peak-current limiting and foldback protection. Its OPTI-LOOP™ compensation minimizes required output capacitance by adapting loop response to wide ESR/capacitance variations.
It integrates a 5.2V internal LDO (INTVCC) with switchover to EXTVCC ≥4.7V, supports external synchronization via PGOOD pin (0.9–1.3× fOSC), and includes dedicated gate drivers (TG/BG) with 3A peak current, 50–90ns transition times, and bootstrap capacitor recharge logic for dropout operation.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | Integrated power stage (MOSFETs internal); fixed 500kHz fSW; no EXTVCC option; ±2% VREF accuracy. | Lower BOM count for <5A designs; lacks remote sense and Intel PGOOD compliance; unsuitable for CPU DVFS. | Select MP2315 for cost-sensitive, medium-current applications where integrated FETs simplify layout but programmability is secondary. |
| TPS54620RGYR | Integrated FETs; 2.95–17V input; 0.6–7V output; 4.5–20V VDD bias; no Burst Mode™; uses D-CAP2 control. | Higher integration reduces footprint; lacks OPTI-LOOP™ adaptability and Intel PGOOD window; optimized for server VRMs, not mobile CPUs. | Choose TPS54620 for high-density, fixed-input industrial supplies where fast transient response matters more than light-load efficiency or CPU-specific compliance. |
Compared with MP2315DJ-LF-Z and TPS54620RGYR, the LTC1735CS-1 uniquely combines external MOSFET drive flexibility, OPTI-LOOP™ adaptive compensation, Intel-compliant PGOOD, and Burst Mode™-making it the only viable choice for high-reliability, dynamically scaled CPU core supplies in mobile platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC1735CS-1?
The LTC1735CS-1 has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 36V at the VIN pin. Continuous operation is specified from 3.5V to 30V. Exceeding 36V risks permanent damage to internal circuitry, including the gate drivers and INTVCC regulator. The device includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) that disables operation below 3.5V to prevent erratic behavior during brownout conditions.
Does the LTC1735CS-1 support remote voltage sensing, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC1735CS-1 supports remote voltage sensing via the VOSENSE pin (Pin 7). This pin receives feedback from an external resistive divider placed directly at the CPU load point-not at the converter output-to compensate for IR drop in high-current PCB traces. The internal 0.8V reference compares against VOSENSE, enabling ±1% regulation accuracy at the point of load, which is essential for modern low-voltage, high-current CPU cores.
How does Burst Mode™ operation improve light-load efficiency in the LTC1735CS-1?
Burst Mode™ operation in the LTC1735CS-1 disables both top and bottom MOSFETs when the ITH voltage drops below 0.5V, allowing the output capacitor to supply load current until regulation error triggers resumption. This eliminates switching losses and gate drive power at light loads, achieving >85% efficiency at 10mA output-significantly higher than forced continuous mode. Burst Mode™ is enabled by pulling PGOOD above 0.8V, typically via a resistor to INTVCC.
Can the LTC1735CS-1 be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the constraints?
Yes, the LTC1735CS-1 can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the PGOOD pin via a series resistor. The internal oscillator locks to frequencies between 90% and 130% of its nominal fOSC (set by COSC). Clock high must exceed 1.3V for ≥0.3µs and low must be <0.3V for ≥0.3µs. Synchronization disables Burst Mode™ but enables constant-frequency, low-noise operation ideal for EMI-sensitive applications like wireless modems.
What protection features does the LTC1735CS-1 include for overcurrent and short-circuit conditions?
The LTC1735CS-1 includes foldback current limiting (activated when VOSENSE < 0.6V), internal current foldback that reduces peak inductor current to ~25% of maximum, output overvoltage crowbar (shuts off top FET, turns on bottom FET), and a latched short-circuit shutdown timer triggered via RUN/SS capacitor discharge. The latchoff can be defeated by injecting >5µA into RUN/SS, providing flexible fault recovery strategies for mission-critical embedded systems.
